NASA Moon and Mars Exploration Analog research volunteers

NASA is recruiting four research volunteers for its first Moon and Mars Exploration Analog mission at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Participants would spend one year in ground-based habitats simulating interplanetary travel and planetary-surface work, with approximately two additional months for training and data collection. This is human-research participation, not astronaut recruitment or a spaceflight. Applicants need technical capability, relevant academic preparation and suitability for prolonged isolation, alongside medical and psychological screening. The official mission page describes ongoing recruitment and a start no earlier than August 2027. Volunteers will be reimbursed, but no amount is disclosed.
